It was possible to hit a kernel panic on NULL pointer dereference in dev_queue_xmit() when sending power save buffered frames to a STA that woke up from sleep. This happened when the buffered frame was requeued for transmission in ap_sta_ps_end(). In order to avoid the panic, copy the skb->dev and skb->iif values from the first fragment to all other fragments.
